About us

The way we plan and deliver health and social care services in Moray is changing.

Legislation requiring integration of health and social care came into effect in April 2016. Moray Integration Joint Board (MIJB) now has responsibility for around £110 million of funding for local services which was previously managed separately by Moray Council and the Board of NHS Grampian.

This is the most significant change to the way we care for and improve the health of our people, in their communities, since the creation of the NHS.

It has brought about because of the changes happening to our population. We are generally living longer, our health is better thanks to the services we have available and we expect to live fulfilling lives into our old age.

These positive changes mean that there is a need to design health and social care services in future to support people who are living with complex needs, many of whom are older.

The integration of health and social care is about making those changes and putting people and not services at the centre of our decisions. It aims to improve services, to make them seamless and more responsive to the people who use them so that they are able to live better lives, often with the extra help they need.

The MIJB is the integration authority which is planning, innovating and working with health and social care staff, communities and the third and independent sectors in Moray to ensure person centred and responsive approaches in the design of care and support locally.
